CWN Editor's Note: Eight days after Dubai’s government closed Christian churches in the United Arab Emirates’ largest city until further notice, churches were permitted to reopen today with restrictions.
The National, a newspaper based in Abu Dhabi, reported that only adults who register in advance are permitted to attend. The April 3 directive came amid Iranian strikes on the United Arab Emirates.
